Appendix 6.A.1

Here, I will present the results of the different models in more detail.

Table 6.A.1.1 presents the results of the heteroskedastic regression for fundamental amendments. Table 6.A.1.2 gives the results of the combination of fundamental and major amendments. Table 6.A.1.3 presents the results of all amendments.

Table 6.A.1.1Results of the heteroskedastic regression for fundamental amendments (POLITY2 ≥ 5)

*** p < 0.001; ** p < 0.01; * p < 0.05.

Table 6.A.1.2Results of the heteroskedastic regression for the combination of fundamental and major amendments (POLITY2 ≥ 5)

*** p < 0.001; ** p < 0.01; * p < 0.05.

Table 6.A.1.3Results of the heteroskedastic regression on all amendments (POLITY2 ≥ 5)

*** p < 0.001; ** p < 0.01; * p < 0.05.

Figure 6.A.1.1 gives the graphic representation of fundamental amendments. Figure 6.A.1.2 presents the fundamental and major amendments. (The graphic representation of all amendments is presented in the main text as Figure 6.2).
